Face forward - even if not moving forward

A summer student who was with our company last year sent an update e-mail couple of days ago. She talked about how her room in the home where she lives while going to university is mostly purple. She writes, "My sister calls it a big purple hug. It is a very comfortable place for me to be." I took the phrase and wrote a reply entitled "Big Purple Comfort Hug". It just sounds warm and comforting to say it.

Well, one of my co-workers had a really rough day today. Hours of work was wasted because, somehow, the majority of radios she tuned ended up on an incorrect frequency. The electronics engineer couldn't figure it out, not with any accuracy, anyway.

I felt bad for her, so I asked one of my other co-workers (Michelle - from my "Validation" post) who worked side-by-side with her before I came along, to see if she knew of something that would supply a "Big Purple Comfort Hug". Michelle went to the lunchroom and made up a tasty, frothy hot chocolate for her. And then one for me!
That was so sweet.

Michelle: you are an awesome co-worker!!
Dan: you have an awesome girlfriend!
